Lifestyle

Exercise:
· If you need to lose weight exercise 60 minutes every day.
· Work up to this slowly until you reach 60 minutes without effort.
· Monitor your heart rate and avoid exercising beyond the suggested rate.
· Start exercising slowly to warm up during the first 20 minutes to access the fat burning cycle.   The first 20 minutes of exercise burn carbohydrates.  Burning all your carbs will produce hunger.  You do not want to do that.  That is why there is a warm up period until you get to the fat burning side of your exercise routine.
· Eat some protein before exercising if you want to build muscle mass.
· Can combine several periods during the day to reach 60 minutes total.

Sleep:
· Sleep in a pitch dark room to maximize melatonin
· Go to bed before 10 PM to improve adrenal function
o every minute of sleep before midnight equals to ten minutes of sleep after midnight.  The "yin" building occurs during the yin hours which begin at 12 noon.  That is why going to bed early is good and is considered a beauty sleep.
